England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland’s FAs are preparing an expression of interest to co-host the 2035 edition of the competition, an English FA statement released on Wednesday said. The statement came after Fifa revealed the timeline for the bidding processes of the 2031 and 2035 tournaments. Members of Uefa and Caf – Africa’s governing federation – have been invited to bid for the 2035 edition. According to the FA, bids for the 2031 and 2035 Women’s World Cup will be submitted during the fourth quarter of 2025, with a decision on both tournaments anticipated to take place during the second quarter of 2026. The United States are expected to host in 2031, having dropped out of the running for the 2027 bid, won by Brazil.Martin Ødegaard double leads Arsenal’s 7-1 thrashing of PSV Eindhoven “Football is and always will be at the core of our country’s identity,” said the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer. “The Fifa Women’s World Cup 2035 on home turf would be another monumental moment in our sporting history, driving growth and leaving a lasting legacy. The FAs’ intention to bid has my government’s full support.” The UK has never hosted a Women’s World Cup and last hosted a major women’s international tournament in 2022, when England won the European Championships on home soil. The event, which took place only in English venues, was delayed by a year due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe. England, Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland will host the men’s European Championships in 2028. The successful bid initially included Northern Ireland, but Belfast’s Casement Park was later dropped as a host stadium.Martin Ødegaard double leads Arsenal’s 7-1 thrashing of PSV EindhovenTrump says ‘golden age of America has only just begun’ in speech riddled with exaggerations and inaccuraciesWhite House confirms ‘ongoing talks’ with Hamas officials in QatarTaoiseach and UK prime minister to discuss potential Ukraine peace deal at Liverpool summit Latest news from the world of sport, along with the best in opinion from our outstanding team of sports writers
